How do you distribute software (not on app store) to Mac beta testers and not
be presented with a malicious software warning?
Notarize your beta builds, just like you should be doing with your
release builds.
When upgrading a project to Xcode 12.5 it wants to change the debug and release
configuration to use development signing.
However when a beta tester downloads and opens a debug or release configuration
version of the app with development signing they are presented with a malicious
software warning.
One way to open the app anyway is to go to System Preferences > Security &
Privacy and click Open Anyway.
Another way is for the developer to register the device UDID of the beta
tester’s machine. However it does not work. The registered machine is still
presented with a malicious software warning when opening the app. So has anyone
gotten this to work?
